I took Teddy's comment to mean soon as well, but I don't see the big deal. A new solo album by any of them at this point is not going to garner big sales, and I'm sure Keith is well aware of that. Nor is it what it used to be for anyone except maybe mega stars like Taylor Swift. There is a two month break between the AU/NZ tour and the rummored South American tour. If the album is released then, Keith would probably do a little publicity during the holidays, and then it would be back to the tour. I seriously doubt Mick will care, he's been busy with his own projects during this break of the tour. I imagine that, whatever Keith decides to do about the new material, he will discuss it with the Stones first.
Pretty solid thinking. I believe the idea is that Mick is busy between Stones activities promoting Get it On and producing his and Scorsese's HBO very high profile rock drama, which is in full swing and will film for the next six months. Keith doesn't do much of that, so this is his personal project. He is apparently planning to do some live dates, though I have no idea what shape the band might take. Steve Jordan aside, this is not an X-Pensive Winos album per se. For all we know, a sober Ronnie and even MT might have some involvement. Either way, this is all being coordinated with the Stones camp, and record company. Maybe the Stones touring is stretching out longer than anyone expected. But whatever Keith is doing is all right with Mick.
Movies and music or rather a solo album - these are two different beast. I still find it's very strange (at least) to release a solo album in the midst of band activity. This breaks some unwritten laws, that's why many folks here have a hard time to believe it. That's my opinion of course, you look at it differently, obviously
But the main thing - I do not want this solo album business turned as nasty as it was with his book. Then they also said it was coordinated with the Stones camp and Mick was all right with this. Turned out it was a direct lie or wishful thinking and the band almost split up as a result of the release of this book.
Moreover, Keith Richards knows only one trick for promotion of his solo projects - namely badmouthing Jagger.
I do not think the band could survive another KR' s interview like the one with London's Time where among other things he discussed Mick's genitals and claimed Marianne told him that.
What he'll tell this time - what he thinks of L'wren suicide and how Mick can't handle women?
I'm sorry if my words are a bit harsh - but at this stage I expect anything from Richards

Nah, I can see him trotting out some line like "these were my little babies, but at some point you have to let them go out and walk on their own". Besides, something needs to tie into Johnny Depp's movie. Expect Keith to be very generous about Mick : "best frontman in the business", and say that this just a little sidetrip before "we get back to the big deal".

The Stones have been done shows in 2012, 2013 and 2014. No Keith album has been released. Is proudmary a fiction writer? Because so far what it's all fiction.
Disloyal? Chose to release a solo album?
A complete mystery.
I agree skippy...I think it's a rather high, and lonely place atop of that soap box.
Best to make the climb and get all vitriolic when you actually have something to scream about.
I'd be very happy with a new solo album by Keith. IF he were to promote it in the way PM described, I'd prolly climb on that soap box with her, but we're not there yet, and I don't think we will be either.
Let's get defensive if and when we actually see an offense.

Well, I'm actually a writer and if you read Russian or Hebrew I can recommend you my books. It is about sex drugs punk rock and totalitarianism.
I believe that to release a solo album in the midst of the band activity is not quite the accepted practice in the rock bands - if you know examples to the contrary, please share
I don't get why my post is mystery, GasLightStreet - somebody with the insider information claims KR will release it soon, I think he knows what he'stalking about
As for publicity - I base my words on the previous scenarios and there is nothing fictional in it, it all really happened before. not once and not twice
but hey if everybody are happy, I understand that someone who does not share this joy should stick one's tongue in one's ass and shut up.

Now hold on proudmary that's a very difficult word!
Pfew I think that's why our one forum one opinion 'friend' missed it: lucky you!!
Yes I think you are not very far from the minefield on this one
People obviously like to point to the past of the Stones but not on this subject...
At the same time I don't really mind if he'll bring it out now or next year.

I don't think there's much debate on what Keith 'can' be like.
I just believe that we should allow for him to actually 'screw up' before we start piling on the criticism. It's all a bit premature to be castigating the guy for:
1. Releasing a solo album between tour legs when it actually hasn't even happened (and if it did, I could personally care less, and would buy the album) and,
2. Berating him for promoting it in a way that belittles Mick, when that has not happened either.
What's happened in the past is past...if MJ's forgiven, why couldn't we just leave it at that? If he's a bastard again, I'll elbow you two OFF the top of the soap box.

I think that his urge is partially explained by the fact that Mick gets too much attention and affection lately, and that everybody somehow forgot about Keith Richards. That's why he does not want to wait until the end of the tour

Suspect the timing of the release is more business than personal. Perhaps to coincide with the release of another long simmering project, the Johnny Depp documentary.
As far as waiting until the end of "the tour', not sure that there actually is a tour. It's more open ended.
A few dates, some time off. A few more dates, some more time off. Do whatever in the meantime and in between time, and get back together when/if they want to do more shows.

How 'bout just a reissue of the SuperHeavy album that features a second disc of the album completely remixed instead of a new one?
haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhahahahahahahahhhhhhhhh
You´re the only one who wants it, i guess.
jeroen
Not quite. I was laughing at what Treaclefingers said... "For the record, I'd also like another Superheavy album".
